elshagon 44 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I must reinstall windows 7 on the pc which has the Media Browser server on it. Is there any way to backup the server settings including the supporter keys so when I reinstall windows I can also reinstall the server just as I have it now without having to manually enter everything again?

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 By default the server's files are stored in \users\username\appdata\roaming\MediaBrowser-Server. You can get there easier in Explorer just by typing %appdata% in the Address Bar and then clicking on MediaBrowser-Server. If you have set it to store some things in other locations, you can find them in your MediaBrowser dashboard by clicking on the Info tab at the top. Never tried but theoretically if you install the server and then overwrite its data files with the ones you saved, then it should work. As I just store metadata in the folder with the media, it has just been easier to install and setup my folders again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentAssassin 96 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You will need to make sure your username match before and after the reinstall of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexvx 1 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does the appdata also include the "watched" information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does the appdata also include the "watched" information? I'm not sure about that, but you can backup your playstates using the Trakt plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 All user-specific information will be in data\userdata.db. If you grab the whole MediaBrowser-Server folder and you are sure everything is exactly the same when you re-setup the machine, you should be able to just put it back and go.

elshagon 44 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 By the way, reinstalled windows yesterday and was able to restore media browser to its exact state it was in before. The only thing left to do was to reinstall the lav filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
